Default First Harley...

Hey there,

Mackenzie from Halifax NS, just picked up my first Harley. 2005 Fatboy 15th anniversary, think I'm in love. Had several bikes but never a Harley, no time like the present. Haven't got to have her out for more than a few minutes yet, was -10C lol, but that sound...

This looks like the place to be for info and inspiration, can't wait to start wrenching on this thing and getting her to look how I want.

Now to get this post count up so I can see all the pics...

Cheers, Mak

Aren't you getting dumped on right now? The radio here was poking fun.
